Bad Axe Games

Grim Tales; Steven Trustrum contributions: I helped playtest the firearm rules, proof read some of the manuscript, and wrote the firearms web primer

Heroes of High Favor: Elves; Steven Trustrum contributions: Feats: Feathered Step, Improved Weapon Finesse, Living Structure, Moon Runner, Pulse of the Wilds, Tree Stepper, Will of the Wilds; Crafting: Arcane Conductor, Seeking, Arrow Resiliency, Hardened; Other: I designed most of the flavor text for the prestige classes and wrote the section on role-playing elves; currently available

I was also the primary author on an unreleased sourcebook, Heroes of High Favor: Gnomes, that I was never paid for.

Black Powder Games (now out of business)

This company was not around long after I did the work for them. No idea what happened to them or why they stopped selling their product when they did. They are not, so far as I’m aware, associated with the video game company that now uses the same name.

BBRACK Productions

Promised Sands; Steven Trustrum contributions: assistant Editor (basically, while working with the raw manuscript as a resource for my own work on an unprinted follow-up sourcebook, I pointed out a bunch of mistakes and made a suggestion here and there.); out of print but available

This company is no longer in business in this incarnation. The owner has, however, continued work with new partners under a new name, and is re-releasing Promised Sands for a new role-playing game rule set.I also wrote much of an unreleased product that I was never paid for.

Powers Unlimited 1; Steven Trustrum contributing author: the Control Density power. Some of the other powers in this book that aren’t credited to me seem … suspiciously similar to “home brew” powers I wrote as an amateur and had previously made available on this website (all of which were submitted to Palladium Books before they and I went our separate ways.) I had no input into how my original power was altered and I had no say in it being added to this book; out of print but available

Trustrum’s detailed, 25-page report was a breath of fresh air. It got into every aspect of my site. He found not only the problems I knew about, but pointed out huge issues that I hadn’t even considered. And the report doesn’t just list problems — it lists solutions, with convenient links to explain things in more detail. Microformats? What the hell is that? Ahh…. I highly recommend this service for anyone, new or experienced, that has a web site that is important to them.

Steven was tremendous to work with – as a freelance illustrator, I enjoyed the professional relationship with Misfit Studios greatly. Steven always allowed for reasonable deadlines, a great deal of artistic freedom, rarely required changes and always paid adequately and reliably. On the creative side, it was always fascinating to read about the concepts and designs Steven came up with, as well as how clearly written and understandable they were. In addition, Steven has a great deal of knowledge …

I hired Steven Trustrum as CSAE’s first content manager “…” and it was one of the best decisions made over my lengthy career in running trade and professional associations.
